An Instant Message conversation with my 8 year old

Were I as techno-literate as my kids, I would have cut-and-pasted or saved it somehow, but I didn't, so I will try to recreate it here:

Daughter, on the upstairs PC: "mom can you cut and paste chapter 4 of the story i'm writing on the laptop and send it to me in a message?"

Me, on the laptop: "Uh, dear, there isn't any Chapter 4... it only goes to Chapter 3"
Daughter: "oh. maybe i didn't save it before"

Me: "Oh, Sweetie, that's too bad! I'm sorry."

Daughter: "its ok, mom"

Daughter: "writers must suffer"
